Chapter 6

Charlotte is on full bed rest until the end of her pregnancy as Addison is worried that If Charlotte gets stressed even just a little bit, the babies seem to show signs of distress. This is very frustrating for Charlotte as she is not allowed to work and she is not used to relaxing. Poor Cooper gets a sting of Charlotte's double-crazy hormone outbursts, but they do not bother him, in fact he finds them very cute. He thinks Charlotte is very hot when angry, and even though Charlotte hasn't wanted to have sex with him since the incident, he respects it and loves her regardless.

CHARLOTTE AND COOPER"S NEW HOUSE

6 more weeks later – 18weeks pregnant

Charlotte is in the bathroom and Cooper is on the phone to Violet telling her about how is parents reacted to the news.

Cooper: I know. My parents didn't react as bad as I thought they would. They were so excited for us.

Violet: I'm glad to hear that Coop. So when did they say they were coming?

Cooper: Next week. They can't wait to meet Char and they want to help with the wedding plans.

Violet: (curious) So are you still getting married on the original date set? Or does Charlotte want to wait until the babies are born?

Cooper: (disappointed) We have been arguing about that a lot in the last few days. I want to do it when we planned on doing it, which is next month, but Char wants to do after the babies are born.

Violet: Well Cooper she has a point you know. She is worried that the stress of the wedding will cause distress to the babies and she doesn't want to lose them.

Cooper: Oh I never thought of it like that. I just thought she was trying to put it off and… gets cut off by Charlotte)

Charlotte starts yelling from the bathroom to Cooper, which is in the lounge.

Charlotte: Cooper Freedman, get your butt in here!

Cooper: Sorry Vi, can you hold on for minute. Charlotte is yelling at me again.

Cooper puts the phone on the coffee table and starts to walk towards the bathroom where a yelling charlotte is waiting.

Charlotte: (agitated) Now Cooper! Stop gas-bagging to blabber mouth and get here now.

Cooper: I'm coming woman.

Cooper enters bathroom.

Cooper: (complains) What have I done this time?

Charlotte is sitting on the toilet angry.

Charlotte: You didn't get more toilet rolls like I asked you too and we have run out!

Cooper: Oh Char; I knew I thought I forgot something. I brought back the cocoa butter you wanted though. (Gives her a seductive grin)

Charlotte: (not impressed) Does it look like I'm in the mood Coop?

Cooper: (sarcastic) I'm kidding! I got some before, but Vi rung and I forgot to bring them up. I will just run down and get them okay?

Charlotte sighs and nods. Cooper kisses her forehead, rubs her belly and runs down the stairs to get the toilet paper.

Cooper then picks up the phone off the coffee table to end his conversation with Violet.

Cooper: Hey Vi, I have to go.

Violet: Raging hormones aye?

Cooper: Uh huh! (Whines)Like a million times worse than normal.

Violet: Coop, you only have to suffer with them for another (pauses)

Cooper: 4 and half months

Violet: oh bugger

Cooper: (sarcastic) Can I come live with you? I could tell her I was kidnapped to be raised with wolves?

Cooper hears screaming coming from the bathroom.

Cooper: I have to go. (Cuts Violet off)

Cooper instantly drops the phone on the ground and runs up the stairs to the bathroom where Charlotte was screaming. Cooper is panicked and starts to yell back.

Cooper: Charlotte! I'm coming! I'm coming!

Cooper gets to the bathroom and is out of breaths from running up the stairs. Cooper then stares at Charlotte and looks at her with concern.

Cooper: what, what, what's wrong? Are you and the babies okay?

Charlotte: I dropped my hairbrush on the ground and I can't pick it up! These stupid babies are bouncing around in here (rubs her belly) like no one's business and pushing into my bladder making me unable to bend down and pick it up.

Cooper: (slightly angry) Is that all? I ran my cute butt way up here just to pick up a hairbrush? You sounded like you were in trouble and I thought… (Charlotte cuts him off)

Charlotte: Oh stop being such a girl Coop! If I were in trouble I would have yelled out your name, rather than just yell a noise out.

Cooper: (serious) Charlotte you scared me okay. I almost lost you twice and if it actually happens, I don't think I could live with myself.

Charlotte looks into Cooper's puppy-dog eyes and sees his fear.

Charlotte: I'm sorry. I just, uh…never mind

Cooper: Come on Char; just say what's on your mind.

Charlotte: I'm just miserable being at home resting. It's very boring and I'm lonely Coop.

Cooper grabs her hand.

Cooper: You have me. Aren't I enough?

Charlotte: But you're at work in the daytime.

Cooper: You want me to stop working and be with you?

Charlotte: We can't afford it Coop. (snaps) I don't need a babysitter either!

Cooper hears the phone ringing down the stairs.

Cooper bends down and kisses her on the lips.

Cooper: Hold onto that thought.

Cooper runs down the stairs to answer the phone, while Charlotte starts to yell at him.

Charlotte: That better not be Violet!

Cooper answers the phone.

Cooper: Cooper speaking.

Mrs. Freedman: Hi my little Cooper bear.

Cooper: Oh hey Mom. How are you?

Mrs. Freedman: I'm very good son. More to the point how is Charlotte coping with everything?

Cooper: Well you know what hormones are like. I know I do since I'm the one that is getting a run for its money.

Mrs. Freedman: Cooper she's carrying twins, what do you expect?

Cooper: A normal pregnant woman.

Mrs. Freedman: She is having twins, Cooper! Trust me if you think it's bad now, just wait until she has only a few weeks to go. It's going to be much worse than this.

Cooper: Great! Well it will be worth it in the end. I'm a man. I can manage a cranky southern pregnant woman.

Mrs. Freedman: Yes you can. (Pause) Apart for that, how is she?

Cooper: She just talked to me before and told me how lonely and frustrated she is about being stuck in the house all by herself.

Mrs. Freedman: Okay it's settled then.

Cooper: what's settled?

Mrs. Freedman: mommy is coming to stay until the babies are born and you can take time off work to help her out.

Cooper: Charlotte isn't going to like that idea. You know what she is like when it comes to being helpless.

Mrs. Freedman: You leave Charlotte to me. You just focus on keeping her happy and I will do the rest.

Cooper: Okay this could go really well or really bad.
